The world appears to be ending or at least civilization in the UK according to the British Press as the snow comes down and everything grinds to a halt.
This is weird because I'm in Central London, and while it is a bit cold, there isn't much snow and because I've just got back from a weeks skiing so snow, for me, is normal at the mo.
I was in Andorra with Snowbreaks for a weeks skiing and quite a jolly new years eve. The group in total was about 45 people, it was good mix of people and capabilities. I skied with a medium group for most of the week as I didn't want to over do it and put myself in traction.
A combination of not skiing too late, ibuprofen, knee supports and fizzy beer got me though the week (sore now but mobile). There were casualties; one girl got catch in some fencing at speed and damage her knee and one chap fell over while going slow and dislocated his elbow (ouch).
The conditions started the week icy and bare but due to a load of snow at new year end with a fine day with some nice powder (so long as you didn't cut in too deep and hit the ice). The weather was quiet warm (in the positives) and so it was a shock getting back to London waiting for night buses with the cold rising up through the soles of your shoes.
